  • Provide personalized and constructive feedback (written and recorded video) on discussion boards, assignments, Python coding projects, and written analyses.
  • Coach learners to troubleshoot code and connect AI/ML techniques, architectural trade-offs, and responsible AI practices to real-world settings.
  • Foster meaningful connections with students in a highly interactive online environment.
  • Lead dynamic live discussions that foster interaction and deepen understanding.
  • Deliver clear, constructive, and authentic feedback on student submissions, including recorded video responses.
  • Manage online discussions, respond promptly to student inquiries, and track student progress.

  • Ability to explain complex AI/ML concepts to working professionals.
  • 8+ years of relevant professional experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Substantial professional experience as a data scientist, machine learning engineer, NLP engineer, AI engineer, or AI/software architect, with a track record of building and deploying ML or AI solutions that deliver business value.
  • Proficient in Python and able to quickly read, debug, and evaluate students’ code in Jupyter notebooks.
  • Hands-on experience with tools such as NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, NLTK or spaCy, Hugging Face Transformers or PyTorch, commercial LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini), and frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or the OpenAI Agents SDK.
  • Ability to explain the math (probability and statistics, linear algebra, and gradient-based optimization) underlying ML models.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to professionals with varied technical backgrounds and use relevant industry examples.
  • Comfortable facilitating live online discussions and providing timely and impactful feedback.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal.
